In this model, hosts don’t need any direct internet connectivity or access to public DNS. All outbound traffic is forced through the proxy, giving you full control over where each host is allowed to connect.
It’s not painless: you must maintain a whitelist of allowed URLs and HTTP methods, distribute a trusted CA certificate, and ensure all software is configured to use the proxy.
And so, it seems, is everything else. Perhaps, this commentary adds no value — just old man yells at cloud stuff.
In my databases, I often prefer integer primary keys for performance reasons. On the other hand, I don't want to expose my primary keys because they are easy to guess.
Recently I've been playing with Rust, and ended up publishing a library to encrypt IDs in they way I like:
That's a factor of about 2.2x, assuming 7% capital gains year-on-year.
If the sums are large, it would've made a lot of sense for Orange to delay the decision for 12 years until having to pay.
But I'm not sure at all of the sums here were that substantial.
IMHO, I think “free” should be reserved for the wider meaning encompassing all the various aspects of freedom.
And a (new?) word like “gratis” should be used for the you-dont-have-to-pay-money-for-this-now meaning.
Instead locking accounts, appropriate throttling might be a better idea.
It's also possible to use auto-incrementing database IDs and encrypt them, if using UUIDs doesn't work for you. With appropriate software layers in place, encrypted IDs work more or less automatically.
The "magic" library does not seem to be equipped with the capabilities needed to be robust against the zip manifest being ordered in a different way than expected.
But this deep learning approach... I don't know. It might be hard to shoehorn in to many applications where the traditional methods have negligible memory and compute costs and the accuracy is basically 100% for cases that matter (detecting particular file types of interest). But when looking at a large random collection of unknown blobs, yeah, I can see how this could be great.
I would have words for such viewpoints, but for the sake of a civilized conversation, I won't express them here.
If people find their app, like what they see, and are willing to pay the price, what is your objection exactly?
I'm guessing it would be the same in Slovenia.
Most houses would be able to upgrade to 35A without extensive reworking of cables, getting to a 24kW maximum.
Also 50A and 63A are available for consumers in most locations, but would require re-evaluating the cabling coming to the house.
In the EU, often a personal key on a tamperproof personal device is used. In many EU countries these are readily available to citizens and the resulting signatures carry the signer's name, a unique personal ID code, and have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature. This is called a "qualified electronic signature". Qualified trust service providers verify the identities of people and provision the hardware to them.
The EU system is great in that when creating or verifying signatures, you don't necessarily need a service provider at all — the software is free. Of course a good system can help managing signature invitations, the documents, archival, reminders, etc. But it's not needed for security; in fact the most secure way would be to not give your documents to a third party at all.
Alternatively, the e-signing providers private key can be used to create a seal on behalf of the person signing. It's then up to the security of the e-signing provider, how they validate the signer's identity, etc, to decide how trustworthy such a signature is.
Driving a recent Model S.
Selecting the temperature can be done on the wheel, or with a single press on the screen in a predictable spot.
Same with media: play, stop, volume, next, previous.
Other adjustments, yes, those may need a modal interaction. Much like physical dials. I would slightly prefer physical dials, but not something I would need to adjust during drives almost ever, so I don’t see a problem here.
